I'm a Cbt therapist in the nhs 40 yo male. Band 7 on 56k a year (very fucking lucky I know!)
I'm burned out of the therapy game and need out of patient facing work. I'm considering a career change into the civil service probably into the DoH. Probably into policy or statergy.
I wanted to ask afew questions to see if it's realistic.
Would any of my current job experience be relivant to a non patient facing civil service role?
Am I simply too old
Is there no point because of cuts /recruitment freezes?
What sort of level would it be realistic for to be looking at starting at /applying for?
Would there be any better areas for me to look at other then policy /statergy?
Would there be any qualifications I could do that would help me be more employable to the CS?
Cheers for any advice you can offer!
